A football supercomputer has predicted that Liverpool will once again miss out on the Premier League title to Manchester City.
The team at FiveThirtyEight have backed the Reds to improve on the slow start that has seen them draw both of their opening games, but Jurgen Klopp’s side will ultimately fall some way short of Pep Guardiola’s relentless City - 11 points short, to be exact.
The prediction model simulates individual games multiple times to work out the probability of each result, combining results throughout the season to predict the final table come May. Liverpool have been given an 18% chance of winning the title this season compared to City’s 58%.
